Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a prosthesis implanted between the vertebral spinous processes with locking suspension. It consists of a flat, semi-elastic braid (1) and one or more small pads (3, 4) made of the same material as the braid (1); the braid (1) is provided at one end with a lacing eyelet (2); the small pad (3 or 4) has the shape of a small hollow cylinder. The invention is used in particular for straightening the vertebrae in order to combat lordosis. <IMAGE>
